dovecot & bandwidth limit
by Gregory P. Ennis 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Everyone, I am having some bandwidth problems caused by large e-mail files with dovecot. From my research into dovecot it appears that there is no way to limit the use of bandwidth during POP3 deliveries. What recommendations might some of you have for a different POP3 server that can limit its own bandwidth use. Thanks, Greg Ennis

No value for $TERM and no -T specified
by Sean Carolan 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I just customized my prompt with a PS1= variable. Since updating my .bashrc this way, when I try to run commands remotely with ssh I get this: **************************************** [scarolan@kalki:~]$ ssh server pwd No value for $TERM and no -T specified/home/scarolan No value for $TERM and no -T specified **************************************** Anyone know why this is happening? Here's the contents of my .bashrc: **************************************** # .bashrc PS1="[\[\e[34m\]\u\[\e[0m\]@\[\e[32m\]\h:\w\[\e[0m\]]\$ \[\e[0m\]" # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi ****************************************

looking for kernel sources
by Rudi Ahlers 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi all I'm looking for the linux source files for CentOS 5.1 2.6.18-53.el5. To install VirtualBox, I apparently need the kernel sources, and even after installing kernel-devel & kernel-headers via yum I still get an error saying I need the kernel-sources [root@gimbli ~]# ll /usr/src/kernels/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5-x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Mar 4 10:57 linux -> /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.13.el5-x86_64/ [root@gimbli ~]# ll /usr/src/kernels/linux/ total 716 drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 arch drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 block drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 crypto drwxr-xr-x 63 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 drivers drwxr-xr-x 63 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 fs drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 include drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 init drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 ipc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56915 Feb 12 20:23 kabi_whitelist drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 kernel drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 lib -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48120 Feb 12 20:24 Makefile drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 mm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167056 Feb 12 20:24 Module.kabi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 328848 Feb 12 20:24 Module.symvers drwxr-xr-x 40 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 net drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 scripts drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 security drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 sound -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45633 Feb 12 20:24 symsets-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.tar.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 usr From this list of files it seems like yum might have installed the wrong version?

LVM and kickstarts ?
by Michael Gale 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hey, Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? I know I need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue I trimmed down my config. It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol) It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not made active, so my /dev/volgroup/logvol did not exist. Running `lvm lvchange -a -y pathname` from with in the shell after anaconda failed made the volgroup / logvol active. Which would allow the format command to complete. Option 1: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os logvol swap --fstype swap --name=os_swap_logvol --vgname=os_volgroup01 --recommended logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow Option 2: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow -- Michael Gale Red Hat Certified Engineer Network Administrator Pason Systems Corp.

crypto, readline and zlib libraries - Postgres install
by Karl Denninger 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I have the 5.x Centos DVD and loaded it. Please be gentle with me, as I'm nominally a FreeBSD kind of guy... :) Anyway, I'm trying to install Postgres and the three libraries in the subject line are missing off the base installation. I figured out how to load gcc using yum, but those libraries aren't there, and I need the former in particular in order to enable SSL for Postgres client connections. A perusal of "yum list" with an appropriate grep or two doesn't elicit anything useful. Anyone know where I find these? I loaded just the standard distro, no graphical user environment (neither Gnome or KDB) Thanks in advance. -- Karl Denninger (karl(a)denninger.net) http://www.denninger.net

install LAMP
by Hiep Nguyen 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

hi all, i'm not an expert on linux/centos, but i play with it and have a general idea. it's time for me to setup a centos box for development. i rarely install anything from source, except a few times in college when i have to modify kernel for OS project. but i guess i can learn now. i just installed centos 5 with minimal installation. next step is to install LAMP w/ SSL. i found http://lamphowto.com/lampssl.html, but i have questions before i proceed. is it better to install from source or rpm? how easy it is to upgrade/update if install from source? it seems so much easy to upgrade/update from rpm, well b/c i'm always do this way. is there any other instruction (beside the one mentioned above) to install LAMP w/ SSL? appreciate your help/suggestion t. hiep
